In a charming segment aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday night, newly-minted pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo told the host that alongside her ascent to major label success have come some challenges, as well as embarrassments. Chief among them is the realization that after receiving a series of gifts during a visit to President Joe Biden, she ended up telling Kimmel during a previous visit that Biden had gifted her a shoehorn when, in fact, it was an ice cream scooper.
“He gave me a bag of like, President Biden goodies and M&M’s and stuff, and I was like, what is this weird thing,” Rodrigo said. “I went on the air and I was like, ‘President Biden gave me a shoehorn, ha ha!’ I went home and found out it was an ice cream scoop, and so I lied to you. It’s so obvious that I have no idea what a shoehorn looks like.”
Rodrigo also, delightfully, surprised Kimmel’s children, who are huge fans of her music, by gatecrashing their morning ride to school and rendering the 9 and 6 year-olds blushingly shocked.
